My mom is a veterinarian and a breeder came in and mentioned how another dog picked up the puppy and threw it. There's no evidence of bite wounds or marks, but my mom thinks the aggressive kids might have had something to do with it. I understand puppies should stay with their mothers until 8 weeks minimum, but the lady signed her over to my mom without a thought. She just didn't want her.
I have been making the effort to wake up every 2 hours to feed her and make sure she doesn't pee in her pen. Of course she whines for her mother, but I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. It would break my heart if anything were to happen. Any advice?

Normally by 5 weeks the baby should only need to have mother's milk every 4 hours or so. You can also start some puppy dog food for the dog. If the food is too hard for the dog to eat add a little warm waer to make it softer. You can feed the dog 3 times a day a small amount of dry dog food for puppies mixed with a little bit of warm water.
You can put a clicking clock in a blanket and put it in her bed. The ticking might make her feel like she is next to her mothers beating heart.
